Video- Diafra Sakho says he still wants to leave West Ham

In an interview with journalist Claude Atcheba, West Ham striker Diafra Sakho has said that he still wants to leave the club.

Sakho was on the verge of a move to Rennes earlier in the summer, but it broke down, with the Hammers apparently not willing to let the Senegalese international down because they hadn’t signed an adequate replacement (so reckons Sakho in the interview)

The striker also mentioned that Slaven Bilic had no influence in bringing him back, because in his own words, “if he didn’t sign elsewhere, it meant he had to come back to his original club”

Sakho said he was looking for a change in environment and that a move to France would be better for his career.

Here is the entire interview below- a little over 2 minutes, and he’s pretty honest about wanting to go.
